Designed to shimmer like small golden beacons, this jewelry gift set is unusual in the way each item is handcrafted, sparkling without glitter yet still complementing whatever outfit you happen to be wearing.

This sparkly effect comes from the hand woven 14K yellow and rose gold wires embedded beneath the glass. The glass focuses the light on the polished surface of the gold woven metal fabric, reflecting it back at different angles like a well cut gem. There are few other materials that can create such a stunning and interesting result. Show the world your sophisticated side with jewelry that sparkles without overwhelming your look.

 • Size Pendant: The pendant measures (from the top of the bail) 1 inch long and 1/2 inch wide.

• Size Earring:  Each earring is 1 inch long (measured from the ball on the earwire) and 1/2 of an inch wide.

• Weight: This jewelry is also extremely lightweight and comfortable, with each piece weighing in at .11 ounces - a little more than the weight of a penny (.09 ounces).

Nickel Free Materials

• Gold:  I'm using both14K yellow and rose gold fill in this design. If you melt it down, gold fill is 1/20th gold by weight. It wears and cares just like solid 14K, so it's a good compromise in quality and price between solid 14K gold and 14K gold plate. All my materials are nickel free so you can wear them with confidence!

• Chain:  Necklace comes with a 2.2 mm flat cable chain in 14K yellow gold fill in the length of your choice.

• Packaging: Items are packaged with an anti-tarnish tab in a recycled paper gift box with anti-tarnish filler, which makes for easy gifting and storage.

• Ear Guards: If you ordered french hook earwires, they are sent with complementary soft plastic ear guards to provide extra assurance that your earrings will stay on.

Woven Metal and Glass Video

I have pioneered a new technique which creates the woven metal under glass effect. Using a medieval finger weaving technique, I weave strips from thin metal wire. I then take that woven metal fabric and embed it behind glass. The different shapes of glass either magnify or distort the underlying weave creating many interesting visual effects. In order to take these visual effects even further, I then fuse layers of glass in my kiln and put the woven metal fabric behind that.

But my favorite part is how the bends and the twists of the woven metal fabric interact with the light that is focused by the glass. The intense sparkly nature of these pieces rivals the sparkle in a well cut diamond!

Here is a brief video of me weaving the woven metal fabric:
